I purchased the 2200 in November 2002 in Sydney, NSW, and shipped it back to New York.  The car is in very good shape for something that has been around for a quarter-century.  Nonetheless, there are items that are need improvement or replacement  Listed below are the major components of the car, and the work that I see as necessary or desirable.  The order roughly follows the order in the Haynes book, rather than some sense of prioritization.  Some items (such the carburetor) have demanded attention well in advance of others.
